Jolicloud for netbooks

Jolicloud is a new operating system for netbooks.I installed it on my ASUS EEE PC 900 yesterday. You could either download jolicloud-usb-creator-installer or use the good "old" unetbootin to create a bootable usb memory stick. I used unetbootin and the whole OS was up and running in just 15 minutes. The speed is the fastest I have experienced so far with my EEE PC 900, and I also like the one-click install from the jolicloud application directory. The look is also great. For those of you wanting the iso to install to do the above mentioned install here it is.

It's no excuse not to install this OS. It's simply great. (I am not paid to say this).
